Writing an A to Z Poem
The June 17, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum
Write an A-Z poem. It has 26 lines first line starts with A next with B then C you get the idea.
Doesn't have to rhyme, no syllable count or anything. Have Fun and Happy Blogging!


After several attempts at writing this poem,
Beating my head against the proverbial brick wall while
Composing lines that trail off into silence and
Dedicating hours staring at the blinking cursor. I
Experienced an epiphany!
Faced with creative constipation, I decided to
Get out of my chair and wash the dishes
Hoping that would get my creative juices flowing.
It did not work! My creative
Juices are still blocked and unable to flow.
Knowing this, I decided to write
Lines that may or may not make sense.
My motivation at this moment has
Nothing to do with inspiration. My
Only reason for writing this
Poem is to respond to the prompt.
Questionable motive or straightforward
Response to writer's block?
Stubborn, bullheaded perseverance on my part
To complete these lines before midnight.
Understanding the catalyst helps me achieve
Victory and encourages me to
Write or should I say forces me to attempt
Xtreme spellings of words to finish the poem.
Yielding to writer's block is not acceptable, but
Zero tolerance of writer's block is appropriate.
